What happens if you focused on cardio in the gym instead of doing actual weight training? Meaning, instead of lifting weights, you just run and do abs? No weight lifting.

Weight training build muscle mass, which makes you heavier more solid and dense.
This muscle mass will increase your basal metabolic rate, in other words, you will burn more calories even when you are asleep.
Cardio burns fat fast; however, it does not have the benefit I mentioned above.
The best way to increase muscle tone and burn fat (to get that washboard abs) is weight training, but using the pace of cardio, which means short rest and less talking, chatting, socializing between your workout and sets.

Nothing will aid you do away with fats greater than aerobic. However, combining aerobic with weight coaching will soften the fats proper off. Muscle mass burns fats, so the extra muscle you reap, mixed with going for walks and cycling, the extra fats cells your frame will rid itself of; you can tone up two times as swiftly. If you are inclined to have a extra extreme exercise for quicker outcome, carry weights on the commencing of your exercise, eliminating your preliminary supply of vigor- carbohydrates. After a mild weight coaching exercise, do 20-half-hour of aerobic so that they can burn all fats.
